Washington, D.C. lawyer George Conway, who has been a heavy critic of Donald Trump, took to Twitter on Tuesday shortly after the president’s White House attorneys sent a letter to Congress claiming that no one in the administration would be cooperating in the impeachment inquiry of the president.
Trump’s lawyers sent Congress a letter saying that the impeachment inquiry violates “due process” of the president.
But that’s not how impeachment works. In fact, impeachment is not a criminal or judicial inquiry, it’s legislative.
Trump could be removed from office, but he would not be thrown in jail or convicted of a crime as a result of the impeachment findings.
The only way Trump would be entitled to the “due process” his lawyers cited is if he is kicked out of office and tried in a court of law.
This is why Conway took to Twitter to express his dismay with the letter to Congress.
This letter, in and of itself, is an impeachable offense.

I guess we have our answer now.

I cannot fathom how any self-respecting member of the bar could affix his name to this letter. It’s pure hackery, and it disgraces the profession. https://t.co/igPGL45oRS
